1. In small pot, add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add in the rice, salt, pepper and vegetable oil. Place a lid on the pot and simmer for about 7 minutes. Turn off the heat once most of the liquid has been absorbed, and let the rice sit in the covered pot until the rice is fully cooked.
2. In a large pot over high heat, add 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil. Once hot, add in the onions and stir fry until translucent. Add in the red chilli, ginger and garlic and stir fry for about 1 minute. Add in the ginger, garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, and curry powder. Cook for another 1 minute. Add in the tomato paste and mix everything together.
3. Add the coconut milk, canned tomatoes, lentils, salt and pepper into the pot and gently stir all ingredients together. Cover pot with a lid and let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more water if the mixture becomes dry.
4. Serve on top of the cooked basmati rice, with diced cilantro, and alongside samosas.
